Hi everyone,

Does anyone happen to know what type of plant this could be? They're not labelled but are being given away at a place I work at. I thought they could maybe look a little bit like a Phlox but can't remember exactly what those looked like.

    I'm afraid that's the best my phone camera can do.

    It's not Phlox Or Michaelmas Daisy.  Can't tell what though with purple over it.

    Thanks Lyn. For some reason I thought the leaves reminded me of one of those. I decided not to take them anyway as would want to know what they are.

    I've corrected the colour best I can - hope this helps:

    A trowel in the hand is worth a thousand lost under a bush.

    Thanks very much Bob, that's very kind of you to do so. I think my phone camera is a very bad one, but unfortunately as I was out at work I had no access to my usual camera.

    If anyone does happen to know what these might be I'd still be interested to know. I was assuming some kind of perennial.
